I married the same woman twice, once in 2008 at an Arya Samaj temple, a marriage she didn’t want to acknowledge, and again in 2013. We have no children and I never took dowry. Now, her father demands money for a divorce. I have proof of her affair with a colleague and despite my family’s pleas, she insists on divorce but won’t file. Recently, she left without a word, taking a suitcase and 25,000 rupees from my drawer. Now, she refuses to return. Her parents came last Sunday, causing a scene. I filed a police complaint but it seems stuck. What should I do now?

Under Indian law, your 2008 marriage is valid, making your 2013 marriage invalid. You can file for a divorce based on her adultery and desertion. Seek legal counsel to proceed further, ensuring you have all necessary documentation and evidence.

They even filed a false police complaint before leaving for Delhi. We immediately reported the incident to the police and filed an FIR against them.
